This is a work by the artist Percy Spencer. Tribe: Navajo. Features: Percy Spencer is known for his heavy works using traditional Navajo techniques. The design is one of his signature styles. Materials and Techniques: Metal: Sterling silver (Silver 925). The hallmarks are clearly visible. Decoration: Bear Claw: A large claw is placed in the center. In Navajo culture, the bear symbolizes "power" and "healing." Turquoise: A vibrant blue stone. Based on the matrix (web-like pattern), it is likely from a famous American mine. Coral: Used in combination with turquoise, it is a traditional decoration. Leaf & Scroll: "Leaf" shaped silver and spiral "scrolls" are representative techniques of the Navajo old style. Cord (Tie): Braided leather cord. 3. Specifications: Total weight: 58.17g. It has a very substantial feel for a bolo tie, and is luxuriously made using a generous amount of silver. 4. Value and Rarity: Percy Spencer's works are very popular in the vintage market and among collectors. Rarity: Recently, jewelry using genuine bear claws has become difficult to circulate due to the Washington Convention and other regulations, and the value of such vintage items is increasing. Oxidation (blackening) specific to silver can be seen, which is called "patina" and is a texture favored by vintage enthusiasts. The shine can be restored by polishing, but excessive cleaning is generally avoided to maintain the value.
